| book description |

A philosophical exploration of how modern global cinema represents everyday means of resisting authoritarianism and totalitarianism VÃclav Havelâ€™s concept of â€œliving within the truthâ€ in an authoritarian regime frames Marguerite La Cazeâ€™s readings of international cinema, highlighting forms of resistance in which seemingly pre- or nonpolitical aspects of lifeâ€”such as professional labor, exile, and truth tellingâ€”can be recognized as political when seen against a backdrop of general acquiescence. La Cazeâ€™s case studies cross genres, historical eras, and national contexts: the apartheid regime in South Africa, in A Dry White Season; post-Suharto Indonesia, in The Look of Silence; 1980s East Germany, in Barbara; the Chilean military dictatorship, in No; contemporary Iran, in A Separation; and current-day Saudi Arabia, in Wadjda. This book explores the filmsâ€™ use of image, sound, narrative, and character in dialogue with the work of Simone de Beauvoir, AimÃ‰ Cesaire, Hannah Arendt, Sara Ahmed, and W. E. B. Du Bois to reveal how cinema depicts ordinary people enacting their own philosophies of defiance.
